Refocus: The Films of William Wyler Price John
In his forty-five-year career, William Wyler not only traversed the silent and the sound eras, but also connected classic Hollywood to new Hollywood. His three Oscars for Best Director are an achievement surpassed only by John Ford. The range of his films also spans a wide spectrum of genres: from westerns to adaptations of classic literature, from crime thrillers to rom-coms, and from controversial topics to musicals.
Yet despite his awards and commercial success, artistic recognition has mostly eluded Wyler. His life experience as one of Hollywood's early immigrant artists also speaks to the foreign influence on classic Hollywood. This volume of the ReFocus series attempts to analyze this Wyler paradox and also seeks to contextualize and theorize selections from Wyler's canon and his relationship to American cinematic history and American culture.
